Brown rice generally refers to brown rice.

Brown rice is the caryopsis of rice after rice husk is removed from the outer protective layer. The rice grains with complete inner protective layer (pericarp, seed coat and nucellar layer) have rough taste and dense texture because of more crude fiber and bran wax in the inner protective layer, which requires time to cook, but its slimming effect is remarkable. Compared with ordinary refined white rice, brown rice is rich in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, and is regarded as green and healthy food.
